Re: How to hide public key of Bitcoin Address?

None of your examples hide the public key and there's no way of doing that without using a different coin.

2.) I see Some Addresses do not reveal the public key even if they have spent their bitcoins like this address here - https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/3BJKWL5ipkVe2bjkRSt6ZNbVWQaRrEFjMs So How can this be possible?

The address in question is a multi-signature address and has been generated using three different public keys.
I don't know how, but it should be possible to derive all the three public keys from data of a transaction made from that address.

It seems they make up the redeem script and can be unscramble that way..

Which is a redeem script

So this redeem script is same as public key?
I mean for multi-sig wallet it's harder to find public key if there's output transactions?
